PasarBella - A Farmers' Market

Recently managed to find time to visit Singapore's PasarBella, which is touted to be a Farmer's market. It's located in Singapore's Turf City at Bukit Timah Road, now better known as The Grandstand, at the North Grandstand. Below is the google map of the area.

You can find out more information on how to get to the PasarBella from the link above. The easiest way to get there is by car, taxi or shuttle bus. However, if you're taking the taxi, you can tell them, "Turf City, Bukit Timah Road, where the Giant Supermarket is located". To my astonishment, I realised that some taxi drivers do not know where is Turf City. Oh well...

The main entrance to PasarBella, as shown below, is located near the carpark that is facing the Giant supermarket, near the area where you wait for the Shuttle bus.

Near the main entrance, you can see the directory of stalls within PasarBella. This is also found near the back entrance, which is near the entrance of the Giant Supermarket, as shown below.

PasarBella is a collective of farmers gourmet produces, craft retailers and food stores. If you're entering from the main entrance, you will see the store that is selling mostly seafood sushi, and of course seafood as shown below.

In addition to sushi, they are also selling Japanese sauces, condiments, etc. There are many obvious areas where you can sit down to enjoy your food but do note that there area seating areas upstairs, as shown in the picture below.

As you walk in further, you will be able to see other stores selling other types of food, condiments, wines, beers and some craft stores too.

It's quite an interesting place and it's crowded too. There are also many other food stores outside of Pasarbella. All in all, a place that you should visit. And no, this is not an advertorial. :)
